you should look at the number of teen becoming homeless because their sexuality or religion is not ok for their parent
Which country? Not in mine, that´s for sure. And I don´t think in US either.
Anyway, let´s compare Maya with Lily, being that they both have exactly the same problem: they want to study, but they don´t have the money for that.
- Lily take care of his problem. She finds a job that will pay for her studies. It´s not a nice job. She has to put up with drunks who tell her things like "bitch, show me your tits." But she does what she needs to do in order of achieving her goal, and anyone that don´t like it can go to hell.
- Maya is delusional. Tries to find an easy and convenient solution for her problem. She believes an absurd rumor about a sorority paying student´s tuitions, just for kindness of heart or something. No string attached. When she discovers the obvious, that everything is a lie, she pities herself, creates a drama around herself, and drags her brother and friends, and even an almost estrange like Sage into her problems.
- Lily is clear from the beginning about the kind of relationship she wants to have with Tremolo. She knows that she can´t aspire to be her girlfriend (imagine Tommy saying to Tremolo "hey brother, yesterday night your girlfriend gave to me the best lap dance. She earned a good tip, for sure! What a boner she gave to me!"). Or maybe she don´t want to have a boyfriend. In any case, her mind is clear. So she offers Tremolo a deal: "let´s be friends, let´s fuck, let´s cover each other´s backs, and let´s not allow that romantic feelings interfere in this arrangement. I won´t say anything if you fuck with other girls, and you won´t say anything about my job" I think those could be the terms of the offer of "rolling together".
- Maya only say half trues to Tremolo (the worst kind of lies, we say in my country), after asking to him for total sincerity. She attracts Tremolo even if she´s already into a relationship. She uses Tremolo, plays with his feelings and even humiliates him in front of Quinn and other HOTs to become a pledge of the HOTs. Then she pouts, drops a couple of tears, look at him with puppy dog eyes, gets him to forgive her... and continues attracting him and using him to be accepted by the HOTs, never telling him that she´s lesbian and has a girlfriend. And, when everything explodes, she continues playing the victim card and making Tremolo feel bad for not wanting to continue being his friend.
Seriously, I would see way better future for Tremolo in a serious relationship with Lily, stripper and all, than in a serious relationship with Maya.
